Mothers Day ... Sunday

Mommy in early 1963

Mommy just after Gizel her great grandchild 2009













This tribute is to my mom, a beautiful lady of the young age of 66.  Mom you are a blessing to each one of your children, near and far.  You have always looked out for us and have been through very difficult times.  I know you have sat up many nights praying for each one of us.  I know you are strong and your faith has been strong in the Lord.  You are courageous and you take one new tasks each day.  You run your live with vigour, nothing is too difficult for you to do.  You love knitting and reading.  I know you spend a lot of time thinking of the past and sometimes I believe you wish you could turn back the hand of time and go and change things.  God knows your heart and desires and I know that He is looking out for you each day.  You worry about the children and grandchildren and also your great grandchild.  You think of the days gone by and wish for the future supernatural favour in each of your children’s lives.  You stand proud at the knowledge that your daughters and son are good parents; you know they have the best interest for their own children at heart.  You love us unconditionally and you have an ear to lend when times are hard.  We love and honour you for being the person you are, the lady of statue we really appreciate all you have done for us in the past and well as in the now.   We have no better mum in the whole wide world but you Mommy, Elizabeth Nester Alberts (Pat).  Never forget we love you and think the world of you.!!

#never #destroyed

https://goo.gl/xK6bTg 2 Corinthians 4: 8-9AMP “We are pressured in every way [hedged in], but not crushed; perplexed [unsure of finding a way out], but not driven to despair; hunted down and persecuted, but not deserted [to stand alone]; struck down, but never destroyed;” I realized that my emotions are something that can cause me to feel pressure and hedged in. My circumstances seem impossible and I feel that there is no way I am going to make it. Then it’s time to check what is going on in your personal life.  Are you getting enough sleep? Are you eating properly? Do you take a break from time to time? If I don’t get enough sleep it seems despair is knocking at my door, and I feel miserable. I just cannot move forward, I want to curl up and died. Just because I am tired and there seems to be no way out. Emotions have a way of controlling each one of us. I realized that I will never be destroyed because there is a way forward.  God gave me common sense an...

You are a Blessing to me!

Working in a multiracial office is always interesting, and my story today is one about sharing and looking out for each other.    Our cleaning lady doesn’t earn much and I doubt even if they are paying her ‘mini mum wages’.   Nevertheless the people in our office know this and worry about her.    One of the young ladies decided to give her a newspaper with all the latest add in it.   As she paged through the paper she sat next to her and asked her ‘what do you like’.    Looking at the stuff on the page she pick out a couple of things that seemed impossible to own and said to this young girl.   I like this and I would love to have one of these. Without her knowledge the Human Resource division made a collection and they then assigned the task to the young lady to buy the things Judy wanted. We gave her, her gifts today.   I was amazed at her gratefulness, tears of joy running down her face and all she could say was “T...

The View from the Sycamore Tree

"Ill-gotten treasures have no lasting value, but righteousness delivers from death. The Lord does not let the righteous go hungry, but he thwarts the craving of the wicked. Lazy hands make for poverty, but diligent hands bring wealth." Proverbs 10:2–10 Reflection The Turning Point: I used to think that by this stage of my life. The path was already set in stone. I looked at the mirror and saw the silver hair and the lines of age. I felt as though I was simply watching the clock run out on my dreams. I’ve spent years in the "midlife crisis." Wrestling with the ghosts of regrets, careers that didn't flourish, relationships that felt the strain of time. The nagging fear of being "less than" in a world that prises youth and worldly success. But then I saw Zacchaeus. He was a man who had spent his life traveling in the wrong direction. Chasing "ill-gotten treasures" that left his soul hungry. When he climbed that tree, he wasn't just trying t...
